MSc Data Science for Computer Science

Data science is an interdisciplinary discipline at the border between statistical science and computer science aiming at discovering knowledge from typically large set of structured or unstructured data. To achieve this goal, data scientists use statistical methods and machine learning in combination with exploration and optimization algorithms from computer science.

The specialisation Data Science equips students interested in data analysis with state-of-the-art knowledge in the advanced statistical techniques, machine learning and algorithmic aspects of data analysis.
